Amazing track from the new Busdriver album (apparently dropping in June), lightspeed wordbendery over alla turca-sampling lovebeat riddim.
Update: Just recently stumbled upon this dustyfunkbreaky version of the tune:
La Tia Leonor Y Sus Sobrinos - Marcha A La Turca (zShare)
Sounding familiar? To be found on the fun Sublime Frequencies Comp Latinamericarpet: Exploring the Vinyl Warp of Latin American Psychedelia Vol 1.

Also a great occasion to reference Alvin Curran’s Audio Poverty performance of his ongoing work ‘ENDANGERED SPECIES - the economics of appropriation’, in which, if you listen carefully, you can hear said rapper hopping through an ocean of adopted sonics alongside voices of furious auctioneers miracoulously not breaking their tongues and samples of bol wonder riding on kangaroos. Boom e Sboom.
